Scott is flying solo in this episode. He digs into Web Apps and how you can use Log Streaming to listen in on what's really happening with your Web Applications running on Azure. From File New Project all the way to connecting to the production log streaming service, this video will show you features you may be not exploiting fully today!

Hey, it's Scott...by himself! In this episode Scott goes solo to talk about the IIS8+ module called the HttpPlatformHandler. It exists so Azure can run Java but now its existence means we've got a generic reverse proxy mechanism for IIS both in Azure AND outside Azure! Let's see if this means we can run Ruby or F# or anything we like!

Scott talks to Ahmet Alp Balkan about Docker and how it integrates with Visual Studio using an extension. You'll see how you can create and install docker onto Virtual Machines in Azure easily. Then we'll create an ASP.NET 5 application and publish it to Docker on a VM running Linux in Azure.

Scott talks to Ahmet Alp Balkan about Docker and gets the full 101 on what Docker is, and why we should care. What problem does Docker solve and how can we use Docker in the Microsoft Azure Cloud?

Scott talks to Mahesh Thiagarajan about the new Azure JSON-based APIs for Azure that now include Compute, Network, and Storage. Orchestrating large system deployments is easier and more declarative than ever.

Scott talks to Mahesh Thiagarajan about some of the new innovations just released in Azure Resource Manager. Thousands of VMs can be created and spun up in parallel, network adapters are first class citizens, and much more!

In this next part, we build on what we learned in Azure PowerShell 101 and now create a more sophisticated script to manage Azure Storage from the command line.

Scott continues his PowerShell series with Guang Yang. In this episode we learn how to create and manage Azure Virtual Machines entirely from the command line!

Scott talks to Jai Haridas about Azure Table Storage. This incredibly fast no-sql store is perfect for large scale Key/Value lookups. We'll create a sample application and explore the underlying HTTP REST calls to the backend Azure Storage API.

Scott talks to Azure Search Program Manager Liam Cavanagh about how Azure Search can search intelligently in multiple languages! You can use Microsoft's language analyzer as well as Lucene's!

Liam Cavanagh explains how the to use Azure Search in your application to give "suggestions" as you type! You can get suggestions almost instantly, choose how your want your input tokenized, and whether Azure Search to give results even if your input is misspelled and apply "fuzzy" logic.

Scott talks to Program Manager Jai Haridas who school us all on Azure Blob Storage 101. We'll create a simple application that accesses Blog Storage and we'll even use Fiddler talk watch the actual HTTP REST calls to the Azure backend!

Scott talks to Victor Mushkatin from the Application Insights team. They create a new Web API application to deploy to Azure, but they instrument that all with Application Insights. Victor show us how to instrumental the ASP.NET Web API and hook it directly into Application Insights to get use amounts of context. It's hugely useful when trying to understand production applications in the cloud.

In this video, Scott learns from Guang Yang about how to manage Azure from the PowerShell command line! We learn how to manage multiple accounts and subscriptions, and access any Azure resource.

Guang joins Scott to demystify the concepts behind Azure Resource Manager. We talk about how Resource Manager and the Gallery fit into the Azure ecosystem. We'll automate the creation of our new resources from the command line with PowerShell.

In this special episode of Azure Friday, a demo goes bad and WE KEEP ROLLING. We want you to learn as we learn. When a deployment fails, Scott and Guang step out of the demo and do some debugging and learn interesting things about Azure, Azure Websites, Git, and PowerShell. Also, much respect and a big shout out to Guang Yang who was a great sport for letting us share this teachable moment for us...
